About this listen

Funny, insightful, heartbreaking, and ironic, the 35 flash stories in the abridged audiobook version of The Roadkill Collection glimpse herds of humans crossing life’s roadway - and no one crosses that road unharmed. Graced with compassion and laced with sharp humor, this diverse collection leaves burning rubber all over the road.

Dear prospective listener, please note: This abridged audio version of The Roadkill Collection contains 34 of the 49 flash fictions in the paperback and ebook editions, plus a bonus concluding humor piece, "A Remembrance of Tom by His Longtime Companion, an English Bulldog Named Wally".

Critic Reviews

"The flash stories in this stellar collection, rich in voice and tone, resonate long after they are read. Jon Sindell has put together a book of sharp and original shorts. One that shows how a concise story, when nuanced and well-crafted, can be told in a very big way." (Robert Scotellaro, author of Measuring the Distance)

"This debut collection heralds Jon Sindell’s mastery of the flash fiction genre. His deft employment of satire and irony, remarkable for their choreographed brevity and bite, frequently provoke a compelling yet unwritten storyline that wit is accustomed to veiling." (Dennis Must, author of The World’s Smallest Bible)

"'Let the wild rumpus begin!' shouts Mud Boy in Jon Sindell’s opening salvo from the The Roadkill Collection. And there couldn’t be a more perfect introduction to this furor of flash fiction. With charity, grace, and a biting sense of humor, Sindell realizes the promise inherent in flash fiction - that humanity can be effectively explored in an instant.... What stands out the most is the empathy with which Sindell renders his characters. These postcards from the underdogs and outcasts of the world chronicle our universal need for connection, to find a place in the world among others, to love and be loved." (Chris Bundy, author of Baby, You’re a Rich Man)
